Monster Grizzly

It so happens I am not one of those people. Maybe because I live in the middle of nowhere, where walking among trees in the middle of winter is as realistic as it gets in this movie, for people like me. We don't get to see what we would expect in a movie of that name, but I don't care. It's a very low key movie that most people will not get. I had a lot of fun during the scene where the pretty young woman is hitting on the old guy, until he finally gets it. LOL Her explanation is something I understand being a retired psychologist. Men have changed a lot throughout the years. (Don't want to offend guys, if you are watching this movie, it doesn't apply to you.) LOL.

A really low budget (and I mean reaaallllllyyyyyy low budget) animal b-horror movie. This is one of those films that seems to have been made a student film project or by a family-friend group with a member who had recently purchased a video camera and wanted to get some mileage out of it. Poorly made and poorly written. The CGI bear has less screen time than a kaiju in the Monsterverse and looks to have been quickly produced in blender. There is a single hilariously notable scene where a college student seduces an older cop, talking about how much of an alpha, primal male he is. It is very funny, and is of course followed by an awkward, simulated foreplay scene in a motel bedroom.

Fun when you have nothing better to watch.

The concept was good, the cinematgraphy was nice, ohhhhh the acting was so poor. The lack of actual grizzly attach sequences just displays the bare bones budget of this movie.

Some good character moments between the two protagonists, but the acting really brought down those segments. Almost zero sfx for the blood and gore. But I wasn't bored with this movie, so I'll give it credit for that. Oh and this is a movie with and environmental message. The bear is pissed that his habitat has been polluted so he goes on a rampage of revenge on humankind. And how does a grizzly attack and kill humans armed with rifles and shotguns. Were they all that slow on the draw?

In fact, I'm a fan of some movies that are lower than B and I've watched more than once. I'm particularly a fan of grizzly and shark movies. Low budget movies don't have to be bad and there's usually something redeeming to be found. There's little redeeming in this one. Bad story/plot, bad acting, bad cinematography, bad blood, bad CGI, bad kills make for one mother of a bad movie.

I had great hopes, too. Nature takes revenge against man ravaging the land is a great trope. Into The Grizzly Maze is a favorite of mine, showing a rogue bear going against man. I hoped for something similar here, but was destined for disappointment. I ploughed on until the end, but decided to review to warn others. Don't waste your time.

Anyone that would give this film anything more than a zero is smoking the devils lettuce. Was this made with a cell phone by people on drugs? My God almighty, what has America come to? How something like this could be put on demand and or on a venue like to be or any other streaming platform is an absolute mystery to me. Apparently anybody with any kind of made in China cheap digital camera and 50 bucks can make a movie. I only gave it one star because I had to. I hate to hurt the feelings of the guy that made this but it can't be helped. Although there are hundreds of movies like this on streaming venues nowadays, and it's just a mystery to me, how this kind of absolute garbage can be put forth as a movie. The way these scenes played out gave me such a nauseated feeling I considered going to the hospital.
